The performance, which took place at the Basilica S S Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, and was live streamed to a global audience, not only paid tribute to Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, but also raised funds for young students affected by the 2020 Beirut port explosion.
The funds from the concert are being donated to Lebanese nonprofit Arcenciel, which aims to support 50,000 students whose access to higher education has been impacted by the tragic events in Lebanon last summer, by funding scholarships and supplying devices and stable internet.
